For some reason it doesn't work. The command works just fine on my

using secure shell to my X server. What could be wrong on my
powerbook?
Something is undoing the stty.
You're not using zsh, are you?
Other than that, try opening another window and ktrace'ing ("ktrace -
id") the program that's fork'ing and exec'ing the stty operation.
Note that stty is not "sticky", so it's not like you can set it on
someone else's terminal, or if there's an intervening close such that
there's zero applications holding the terminal open.
If this is a C program, and you are doing this to read something you
don't want echoed back, consider using "getpass" instead.
